This is the first day of Fasting in the month of Ramadhan. Early morning, started fasting at around 5:45am, and will break fast at 7:34pm. And, being addicted to coffee adds an extra challenge, when you are use to filling up whenever. Well, I have to wait until after breaking fast.

Experiencing hunger and thirst, if only for a short time, opens up your eyes and heart to what it is like, to have that feeling. God Willing, I hope to gain more understanding, more kindness and more patience. Not just during this month, but each day.

About Nawfal

Art & Photography blend for the Photographic-Art that Nawfal designs. Nawfal's influences include the Abstract Expressionist painters, especially Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. Nawfal loves to design art-pieces that are expressionistic lively swirls, clouds, lines, and dots of color and spaces. Nawfal also creates Color-Field Photographic Collections, which is where Rothko has influenced his work. Nawfal does not necessarily believe a photographer can narrow-down their focus to three main subjects, as some people would advise. Nawfal has been working with some form of photography for 36-years; and since 1998, he has worked as a freelance photographer designing art photography, producing publication features, and working with a variety of clients to provide artwork and commercial-style photography. Nawfal's main concerns whenever he photographs is to to produce images that his clients will be "WOW'ed" with; and to take better photographs each time he picks up his camera. Nawfal is a good'ol boy from Lincoln, Nebraska; however, since 1994, he has lived in his wife's home city, Georgetown, Malaysia.
